Whitlock Avenue is an elevated station on the IRT Pelham Line of the New York City Subway. It is served by the 6 train and is located at Whitlock Avenue and Westchester Avenue in the Bronx.

It has covered-over old signs and a windscreen on the south end. The north end has a full canopy over the platform. The mezzanine is wood and features frosted windows in a simulated 16-pane pattern. At one time there were doors to the fare control but they have been removed; doors from fare control to street remain. The station is adjacent to an abandoned railroad station called Westchester Avenue which was served by the New York, Westchester and Boston Railroad and New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad's Harlem River Branch.
